3 Original Business Ideas From Across The World

Do you wish you could come up with an innovative, groundbreaking business idea, but feel powerless in front of the multitude of already-existing products and services on the market? Donât worry, itâs never too late to innovate, and original business ideas are born everyday across the globe.

Here are just a few of these original and funky business ideas we wish we had thought of ourselves:

1. Vest Pizza campaign
This it by far the most innovative green business idea we’ve encountered so far: this pizza restaurant from Denmark uses the energy saved by the local residents to power its pizza ovens. The Danish energy company Vestforbrænding coupled with advertising agency Anew and together came up with this brilliant idea. Locals were told that the more energy they saved, the more pizzas would be available. The number of pizzas also grew as the number of Facebook page Likes increased. This campaign was extremely useful, making the community more aware of the benefits of energy saving.

2. Wake N Shake app
Do you have trouble waking up in the morning and always seem to push that Snooze button, ending up being late for work? Apparently, there are quite a few heavy sleepers, since this new smartphone app was designed to force people to get out of bed, by requiring them to shake the phone in order to turn the alarm off. The app also enables users to compete with their friends, in terms of shaking force used or the waking time, and gives them rewards for waking up on time for 20 days straight.

3. Casserole
How many times have you realized that you cooked too much food and ended up throwing it away? A UK-based startup came with a solution for all leftover food, by finding people in the neighbourhood who cannot afford or don’t have access to a home cooked meal. Casserole enables its members to post all leftovers on the platform’s menu, with relevant details regarding how many servings there are left and when the food was cooked. Then, the members who either don’t know how to cook or don’t have enough time or money, can take advantage of the leftover foods.

What do you think of these three original business ideas? Do you feel inspired to create something similar yourself?
